Am I a Podcast Geezer?!?
November 19, 2014 22:58 - 6 minutes - 6.35 MBIn a word, yes! Daniel J. Lewis in The Audacity to podcast episode 199 did a review of Audello and before he did, he talked about us Podcast Geezers being stuck in our ways. Well, it's true, I admit it :: I'm a podcast Geezer. I think my way is the best way to podcast (for me and as many people as I can convince) . Do I think that will always be the case? No. Do I see it changing anytime soon. Maybe, but Audello isn't really it (just from what I know now). I'm thinking we should have ...
News from Apple’s Podcast Team and Jazz – PHD030
November 18, 2014 00:06 - 37 minutes - 34.7 MBWhat do you think of the new Music? I was thinking that Jazz might be more my style. I have a kind of relaxed delivery, and a more relaxed theme song might work. Let me know. As with most things about podcasting, everything is changeable. From Last Week: I got a note from Paul Figgiani who was THE Senior Audio Engineer at IT Conversations. He was commenting about the audio loudness standards and knows a metric TON about this stuff. I’m hoping to convince him to come on the show and talk abo...

November 10, 2014 08:18 - 34 minutes - 31.5 MBFrom last week… Update on the Scammy Spammy podcasting service I wouldn’t name. Well I’m naming it this week. Audello. The service doesn’t seem unreasonable other than the price, but the claims the marketing of it makes, just make me feel icky. Dave Jackson did a video review of Audello and he had not much good to say about it. ALMOST everything they claim the software does can be done with a little learning for FREE. Sometimes paying to save time isn’t a bad thing. But with Podcasting, it’s...
Why Show Zero? – Quick Hits – Podcast Help Desk
November 09, 2014 19:44 - 1 minute - 1.56 MBWhy show zero? This is so that when you are setting up your podcast feed, you can get the feed going with a short show introduction. This is good for letting everyone know what your show is going to be about. Your RSS feed isn't valid until you have an episode in it. This will give you something for your feed so you can submit your feed to iTunes, Stitcher, Blubrry and wherever else before you officially launch. This show is going to be 1 - 5 minute, single topic quick hit tips about your...

How *NOT* to get kicked off your Webhost – PHD-026
August 04, 2014 22:42 - 24 minutes - 22.6 MBThe company Personal Audio, The people claiming they have a patent for podcasting, that were suing Adam Carolla have tried to drop the lawsuit. They claim there is “no money” in podcasting. Adam has decided to not let it drop just yet and is keeping his counter-claims. His goal is to invalidate the patent. I’m not sure that’s a good idea. He’s raised nearly $1 million to fight them. I was listening to Adam Curry on No Agenda and he (the podfather) said that he thinks Corolla should give the c...

Q and A plus how to pick a domain and webhost for podcasting – PHD-025
July 11, 2014 10:00 - 29 minutes - 27.1 MBFollowup from last weeks show. I did have a chance to listen to more of the podcasts in the list from last week. I have to say, that one of them seem a bit pushy selly. (if that’s a correct term) What I mean is that this show seemed more like an infomercial for consulting, affiliate program links and lacked useful information. I’m not going to call out this podcaster as I may have just caught a show that was more like that than normal. I will keep listening. It was entertaining and well prod...
Podcasts about podcasting and other resources – PHD-024
July 04, 2014 10:00 - 43 minutes - 29.8 MBThis may seem counter-intuitive, but I only want you to have as much info as you can. My fellow podcasters that podcast about podcasting have a lot of great information. There isn't any real competition in this field. We all have our own take on things and for the most part, everyone puts out great advice. Personalities and styles are quite different and you might not like someone's style so here is the best (in my opinion) of the people you should also listen to. I suggest you pick a few ot...

Good news for podcasters! Soundcloud for podcasting Why you shouldn’t use Soundcloud (or any other proprietary service) as your only point of presence for your podcast. it’s in beta (after 3 years?!?!) I don’t trust beta. It costs some money and it’s limited on the TOTAL uploads, not monthly like other services (like blubrry or libsyn) They m...
The Basics of RSS and Podcasting – PHD-022
June 13, 2014 20:03 - 29 minutes - 20.4 MBThis week I had a lot of questions from new and prospective podcasters that show that, even though podcasting has been around a while (10 years), people seem to have trouble with how it works. So I am going to explain it in very basic terms. This would be a good episode to pass on to people you know who ask you about how podcasting works, what it is, and how it DOESN’T work. Ok, The first thing about podcasting you should understand is, that it is driven by the RSS feed. What is an RSS feed...

June 06, 2014 20:36 - 29 minutes - 20.5 MBRecovered from the great basement flood :) Q: My podcast artwork doesn’t show properly in iTunes / Stitcher / whatever other podcatcher A: There are 3 places in your feed that the image needs to be. 1. Is in the mp3 files itself. A image bigger than 600 x 600 needs to be in the iD3 tags of EACH of your podcast mp3’s. I do this using iTunes on my computer by dragging the mp3 into a playlist I called “edit” and then I right click on the mp3 in itunes and select “Get Info” In there is some ta...

I want it to look good like a web page. A: An RSS feed is supposed to look funny! :) It was never supposed to be looked at by humans. Feedburner (back in the day) tried to make it human viewable and they did a good job. But as I always say: You don’t need feedburner to podcast and don’t worry how you RSS feed looks. Worry about how it works. RSS feeds...

Feedburner – PTC006
September 08, 2012 02:12 - 21 minutes - 15.4 MBBefore I go into feedburner, a bit of news about it. Google Announced a year ago, that the Feedburner API was going away next month. (Oct 2012). Does this mean feedburner is going away? Maybe and maybe not. Just something to think about. Feedburner started in 2004 as a feed management service. Back in the day it was the easy way to add all the tags that iTunes needed for podcasting (after itunes started doing podcasts in their iTunes store). It was started by Dick Costolo who is now the CEO ...
